GOLD: Is similar to currencies like the US dollar or EURO because it is durable,portable,a store of value and widely accepted globally with standardised physical characteristics. Since the price of Gold often fluctuates, independent of its industrial supply and demand,the emotions and behaviours of traders tend to drive major trends of this metal. One of the major determinants of gold prices has been the level of real interest rates. When interest rates are low,investments in cash and bonds tend to provide negative returns,thereby prompting investors to seek alternative ways to protect the value of their wealth and vice versa, when the interest rates are high.

Gold is traded on InstaForex platform thus:

As with any other instruments there is no single best way to trade Gold. Many traders from other markets have found that the technical trading strategies utilised on other instruments, can easily be applied to the gold market. Success in gold trading have been found in adapting strategies that are based on trend-lines,overbought and oversold oscillators like the R.S.I and Stochastics.
